lens docker

- And no discussion of effects would be complete…without looking at the lens docker.…Well I've got my object which I'm going to use…to create a lens.…This can be any object by the way.…It doesn't have to be a circle, square, or polygon.…You can create your own shape.…Any closed shape can become a lens.…And what is a lens?…Much like a lens in a pair of glasses…a lens changes the way we perceive an object.…Not necessarily changing the object.…So let's take a look.…We'll go to the Window menu.…

Down to Dockers and choose Lens.…I'm going to tap the F4 key to re-position my page…and select the type of lens effect that we want.…To start with, although there are a lot of very cool…and interesting ones here, I'm going to choose Magnify.…Now I'll move my lens over the object and you can see…voila, we have a living magnifying glass…working right over top of our diagram.…The magnifying lens is probably…one of the most popular ones.…

And I'm going to decrease the amount of zoom…just a little bit.…We can freeze the view just as it is right now…
